Recent reports and remarks made by President Trump have drawn a lot of attention and awareness to what can only be described as an addiction epidemic engulfing the whole of the USA. Sufferers blighted by addiction are not all receiving the help and treatment required.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates - November 10, 2017 /PressCable/ —

The need for increased focus on sufferers, blighted by drug and alcohol addiction, to help facilitate them into drug rehab treatment centers has never been more acute than in the light of recent reports and studies that have drawn attention and awareness to what can only be described as an addiction epidemic engulfing the whole of the USA.

Sobering Numbers – In 1979 the number of people admitting to having used illicit drugs was 31.3%. By 2015 that figure had risen to 48.8%, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Deaths from overdose rose from 17,415 in 2000 to 52,404 by 2015. In that time, 11 times more people were in prison due to drug-related offenses. In 1980 only 40.900 drug-related offenses were registered. By 2015, this figure had risen to 469,545 according to The Sentencing Project.

States with the highest percentage of teenage drug users are reported; Colorado, the District of Columbia, Vermont, Oregon and Rhode Island. However, this is by no means a young adult issue. It is becoming prevalent in older age groups as the Opioid & Opiate abuse reporting has recently indicated.

It is ironic, however, that even though President Trump and Congress have firmly highlighted opioid addiction and drug overdoses as a high priority issue, the biggest drug-related problems recorded across the whole of the USA are in fact to be found in DC’s own back yard.

The District of Columbia has long had a tradition and been the center of illicit drug trafficking and abuse and remains so to this day. Even with an enormous amount of regeneration projects, both commercial and residential, DC is still unable to shake its drug-related problems.

Treatments need to be made widely available to all for the sake of society and communities. How exactly Donald Trump, his administration, and Congress are able to markedly reduce the current drug use epidemic is anyone’s guess. However, it is certainly one that is to be addressed and should, therefore, be commended.

In the meantime, recently launched website ‘Drug Alcohol Rehab‘ aims to do its part in helping those in need of drug addiction and also alcohol abuse treatment. Supported by the Addiction Recovery Now network, one of the USA’s largest networks of licensed psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists, addiction sufferers will be able to turn to them for much-needed help, understanding, and treatment.

Their highly trained and specialist counselors will sympathetically help addiction suffering callers through the maze of options available to them and the wide variety of treatments that will best suit the suffers individual needs and circumstance. These specialist counselors are often previous addiction sufferers themselves so are able to empathise and understand a callers anxieties, needs and concerns.

Over 80 popular private health insurance policies are accepted by the Network and in the majority of cases, they can secure 100% insurance financing for their patients. In a time when many addiction sufferers have no one to turn to who can understand their needs, difficulties, and situation, it is re-assuring that there is help at hand 24/7.

NEW YORK — Years before UFC was worth billions, Dana White used to plead his case with ESPN for air time. This was no negotiation for a big-money rights package — the UFC president simply wanted highlights on "SportsCenter." "I was out there all the time," White said of his trips to ESPN's Connecticut headquarters. "For most of the time, the last 18 years, I was battling just to get coverage. We used to fight just to try and get covered by them." Call off the fight. UFC and ESPN have launched a partnership that would have seemed inconceivable even...

DETROIT — Last year, Will Power finally broke through and won the Indianapolis 500, so he can cross that accomplishment off the list. Now 37, Power is reaching an age when it's fair to wonder how much longer he'll keep at it. "I'm really enjoying my racing. I've never been so motivated. I'm fitter than I've ever been, mentally on the game," Power said. "I think once you get to this part of your career, you realize that you're not going to be doing this forever. So you've got to enjoy it and you've got to go for it when...

DETROIT — Despite a government shutdown, Hyundai and Kia are moving ahead with a recall of about 168,000 vehicles to fix a fuel pipe problem that can cause engine fires. The problem stems from improper repairs during previous recalls for engine failures. The affiliated Korean automakers have been dogged by fire and engine failure complaints from across the nation. They're both under investigation by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which has been trying to figure out whether initial recalls covered enough vehicles. But the agency is mostly closed due to the shutdown. In addition to the recall, each...

DETROIT — At first glance, this year's edition of the North American International Auto Show might look like any other from the past: gleaming vehicles, bright lights and flashy displays trying to lure spectators to their offerings. But after traversing Cobo Center's massive exhibition space and ticking off the automakers, you'll notice what's not there: namely BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Audi or Mazda. Those brands had been mainstays of the Motor City's celebration of the auto industry, which opens to the public on Saturday. But they are pulling out not just from Detroit but shows worldwide because of a bad date...

FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen and Ford are forming a global alliance to develop commercial vans and medium-sized pickups together while exploring broader cooperation on future battery-powered and autonomous vehicles and services. Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess and Ford CEO Jim Hackett said Tuesday that the first jointly developed vehicles could hit the market as early as 2022 and that the linkup would offer efficiencies that would mean stronger profits starting 2023. Ford Motor Co., based in Dearborn, Michigan, would make the medium-sized pickups, one of its strengths, as well as larger vans. Volkswagen would develop and build a small van for...
